Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.

Is my Google Calendar data secure when connected to Salesforce?

Your productivity data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Calendar and Salesforce?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Calendar or Salesforce. For example, create a workflow where Google Calendar events update Salesforce, and a separate one where Salesforce changes sync back to Google Calendar. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.

No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Google Calendar and Salesforce, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
